executive committee tues day john r thompson who played himself into busse's hands as the candidate for mayor refused yesterday morning to al low his name to go before the caucus t accept the nomination of that body and the organization or what remained of it was left without a candidate an effort was made by the busse followers to induce the deneen men to go into the caucus and nominate candidates for city treasurer i and city clerk bnt the overture only ! served to 3emonstrate the utter futility of any effort to reconcile the warring fac tions of the party and the cancellation of the call for the meeting was the only obsequy attending the annihilation of tin republican machine the time of the executive committee dancing last tuesday to the busse string pulling proves to have been elaborate .< thrown away and mayor busse who cam into the limelight for one brief instant having apparently discomfited governo deneen and succeeded in getting the party nomination for his own

that the deneen and lorimer men would all stay away from the convention there were warring factions too among the other members and nothing could have saved the meeting from abject failure john r thompson may not be a candidate for the office of mayor at all he took the position last night that the petition filed ln his name had been cir culated by his friends and filed without his knowledge and consent and he de clared that he had made no preparations for the race and would not announce for a few days whether he would or would not be a candidate it is possible that he may ask the committee that filed his petition to withdraw it open race at primaries whether this is or is not done the race for the nomination at the primaries will be open and free for all alderman merriam john f smulski john e scully and thomas m hunter are all in the race until the 28th of february there is much difference of opinion over thompson's position by many it is be lieved to be good polities because the busse the deneen or the lorimer indorse ment at this particular juncture would be considered a black eye for any can r didate mr thompson's statement that while he would appreciate the indorsement of the precinct committeemen he did nor want to take an unfair advantage of alder man merriman and john f smulski is considered by some as an elaborate hid for the favor of these officials and an-indica tion that he may stay in the fight to the end others assert that thompson has gum | shoed all through the situation and that he knows deneen will give him the fight of his life on the

says petition was filed by his friends busse's waterloo is now complete there will be no meeting of the re publican precinct committeemen to-day pursuant to mayor busse's resolution adopted by the executive committee tues day john r thompson who played himself into busse's hands as the candidate for mayor refused yesterday morning to al low his name to go before the caucus t accept the nomination of that body and the organization or what remained of it was left without a candidate an effort was made by the busse followers to induce the deneen men to go into the caucus and nominate candidates for city treasurer i and city clerk bnt the overture only ! served to 3emonstrate the utter futility of any effort to reconcile the warring fac tions of the party and the cancellation of the call for the meeting was the only obsequy attending the annihilation of tin republican machine the time of the executive committee dancing last tuesday to the busse string pulling proves to have been elaborate .< thrown away and mayor busse who cam into the limelight for one brief instant having apparently discomfited governo deneen and succeeded in getting the party nomination for his own candidate turn bled full length politically yesterday thompson wants no advantage john r thompson refused to allow til i name to go before the caucus on the ground that neither alderman merriam nor job f smulski would accept the nomination and he did not want any unfair advan tage and busse it was said was afraid to have the meeting held and to face an inevitable fiasco it developed yesterday that the deneen and lorimer men would all stay away from the convention there were warring factions too among the other members and nothing could have saved the meeting from abject failure john r thompson may not be a candidate for the office of mayor at all he took the position last night that the petition filed ln his name had been cir culated by his friends and filed without his knowledge and consent and he de clared that he had made no preparations for the race and would not announce for a few days whether he would or would not be a candidate it is possible that he may ask the committee that filed his petition to withdraw it open race at primaries whether this is or is not done the race for the nomination at the primaries will be open and free for all alderman merriam john f smulski john e scully and thomas m hunter are all in the race until the 28th of february there is much difference of opinion over thompson's position by many it is be lieved to be good polities because the busse the deneen or the lorimer indorse ment at this particular juncture would be considered a black eye for any can r didate mr thompson's statement that while he would appreciate the indorsement of the precinct committeemen he did nor want to take an unfair advantage of alder man merriman and john f smulski is considered by some as an elaborate hid for the favor of these officials and an-indica tion that he may stay in the fight to the end others assert that thompson has gum | shoed all through the situation and that he knows deneen will give him the fight of his life on the south side and wher ever deneen influence counts for anything and that he has not the inclination to enter the fight in which failure would mean a serious loss of prestige in his own ward question of
